MARK CULLINAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE, TOWN HALL, DALTON SQUARE, LANCASTER, LA1 1PJ Published on 2nd December 2010. Page 1 Agenda Item Committee Date AgendaApplication Item Number 5 A05 13 December 2010 10/00456/CU Application Site Proposal Court View House Change of use of ground floor and first floor to further Aalborg Place education college Lancaster Lancashire Name of Applicant Name of Agent EMBA College MCK Associates Ltd Decision Target Date Reason For Delay 5 July 2010 Resolving transport related issues Case Officer Mr Andrew Drummond Departure No Summary of Recommendation Refusal This application was previously reported to the Planning Committee on 20 September 2010, but a decision was deferred to allow: (1) The Case Officer to liaise with the applicant over the contribution to the sustainable travel contribution. (2) The Case Officer to clarify whether the 4 existing on-site spaces were mobility spaces and, if not, where will the mobility-impaired park? (3) The Case Officer to encourage the College to incorporate a public café bar on the ground floor element, thus reducing the scale of their operation on the first floor (if still viable) to lessen the impact upon residents. (4) The local Residents’ Association to be involved in the discussions. 1.0 The Site and its Surroundings 1.1 The application site is situated on the east side of Lancaster city centre between the Magistrate’s Court and Lancaster Canal. Vehicular and main pedestrian access to the site is gained from Quarry Road. The property is known as Court View House. It forms part of the Aalborg Place scheme along with Mill View House, developed by Persimmon. It is predominantly a residential development. 1.2 The site falls within an area designated as Lancaster Central Parking Area and a Housing Opportunity Site. The canal forms a County Biological Heritage Site. 2.0 The Proposal 2.1 The application seeks planning permission to change the use of the vacant ground and first floor space that currently has permission to be used as an office and restaurant. It is proposed to use the space for educational purposes (D1 use) with a lecture room, seminar rooms, a library, a common Page 2 room, a number of offices, a meeting room, 2 reception areas and toilet facilities. 2.2 The ground floor (A3 restaurant/café) space measures 350 sq.m with the first floor (B1 office) space providing a further 570 sq.m. It is proposed to use all 920 sq.m of this combined space for the purposes set out in 2.1 above. 2.3 The site has vehicular and pedestrian access from Aalborg Place, off Quarry Road. The commercial floorspace has been allocated 4 car parking spaces within the building, though there are nearby short term car parks at Thurnham Street and Bulk Street. The nearest bus stops are on Common Garden Street and South Road, with the train station a 5-10 minute walk away across the city centre. 3.0 Site History 3.1 A number of relevant applications relating to this site have previously been received by the Local Planning Authority. These include: Application Number Proposal Decision 02/00848/FUL Erection of 139 apartments, public house/cafe (A3/A4 Permitted use), office accommodation (B1 use) and associated parking 4.0 Consultation Responses 4.1 The following responses have been received from statutory and internal consultees: Consultees Response County Highways The site is within the city centre Controlled Parking Zone and that on street parking in the immediate vicinity of the site is adequately controlled. It is noted that only 4 spaces within the existing car park are allocated for the proposed use, although the application does not go into any detail as to how this is enforced. On the face of it the impact of traffic and parking in and around Aalborg Place would therefore not be significant. However, the Highway Authority (HA) is concerned about the proximity of the site to the relatively nearby Moorlands residential area, which is already under pressure from commuter parking. This is only a relatively short walk from Aalborg Place and would be likely to attract parking by staff and students who do not choose to travel by other modes and seek to avoid the charges associated with the car parks in the area. The application states up to 175 students may be on site at any given time and it is the Highway Authority’s view that this could add significantly to parking demand in the Moorlands area, further adding to the problems of the residents in that zone. Whilst it is noted that a Travel Plan has been submitted by the applicant to promote alternative modes of transport, it does not alleviate the HA's concerns. However, the solution identified is the introduction of a "residents only" parking scheme in the residential area of Moorlands, and therefore the HA has requested a contribution of £10,000 towards this measure.

  • Log of Hornby School 1900-87
    Hornby School Log-Books 1900-94 The following are extracts from the school log books of Hornby, Lancs., between 1900 and 1994. They are a selection of the most interesting entries over those years. The log books were written by the Headteacher and there are four of them covering this period. The original log books are kept at the school. I am very grateful to Mr.B.G.Wood, Headteacher 1983-94, for allowing me to borrow and make extracts from them. 1900 19th November The Thermometer at 9 o'clock this morning registered only 42 degrees. Fire was lighted at 7 but during the night there had been a very severe frost. Florence Goth who has been suffering for the last few day from earache was not able to attend to her duties. The New Time Table as approved by J.G.IIes HMI was brought into use this morning. 20th November There are still 15 children absent from School on account of Whooping Cough. 26th November Florence Goth has not yet returned to her duties, and it is now known that earache referred to on the opposite page is more correctly described as Mumps. This morning I find several cases of Mumps in the School, and some are absent on that account. Jane Smith is also beginning in the Mumps and ought not to be among the children. She will report herself to Mr Kay at the Central Classes this afternoon. Dr Bone the Medical Officer of Health recommends the closing of the School again indefinitely to stamp out the Mumps and the Whooping Cough.

  • Lancaster District Alternative Sites (At Draft Local Plan Stage) Initial Desktop Archaeological Assessment
    Lancaster District Alternative Sites (at draft Local Plan stage) Initial Desktop Archaeological Assessment 12 September 2017 Lancashire Archaeological Advisory Service 1 Carr House Lane, Lancaster LA1 1SW [email protected] Introduction and Methodology Lancaster City Council, as part of the evidence base to support the emerging Local Plan, are seeking an archaeological assessment of a number of sites across the Lancaster District, proposed to be allocated for development. Lancashire Archaeological Advisory Service has been commissioned to extract a relevant data set from the Lancashire Historic Environment Record, held by Lancashire County Council, and to provide an initial archaeological appraisal of each of the proposed development sites in order to identify any nearby archaeological heritage assets and to assess the potential scale of impact. The boundaries of the sites, names, etc. were provided by Lancaster City Council as ArcGIS shapefiles. For each site the following information has been requested: Identification of known heritage assets (designated and non-designated) within the site; Outline assessment of the site's potential to retain unknown buried deposits; Identification of designated or non-designated heritage assets nominally within 500m or such other distance as may be appropriate taking into account the significance of the asset and the circumstances of the site; Overall conclusion to establish whether the site is considered to be of no archaeological significance/ of some archaeological significance/ of high archaeological significance and whether any heritage assets are considered to be of negligible/local/regional/national importance; Recommendations for future survey, where it is deemed appropriate. The assessment has been undertaken utilising existing datasets, archaeological reports, publications, etc.

H. CHEETHA'.\I, F.S.A. PART V. THE HUNDRED OF LONSDALE. FOREWORD. WITH the Hundred of Lonsdale my catalogue of the bells in the older churches of Lancashire is completed. The work was begun before the War and in preparing the first instalment for the printer in April, 1915, I expressed the hope that the whole would be completed by 1918. Unfortunately the course of events did not allow of this, and after-war conditions have made it impossible to proceed with the printing of the later instalments on the same scale as the earlier ones. The notes on which the following pages dealing with the Lonsdale Hundred are based were made chiefly in the summer of 1920 and spring of 1921 1 and what I have written must be taken to refer to those years. In lgo6 the late Dr. Raven stated that "practically nothing " could be said about the church bells of South Lancashire, but North Lancashire had "begun to yield its treasures " as a result of the.
